In about 1 month, the course, Introduction to Recommender Systems, will begin on Coursera. The course is being offered by the Computer Science and Engineering Department from the University of Minnesota.

The course is 14 weeks long and has 2 tracks:

Programming Track – 6 different recommender systems will be programmed

Concept Track – great for people that want to know about recommender systems, but don’t want program

Recommender systems are an important part of data science, and this course looks to provide an excellent in-depth overview of the topic.
